Anxiety has trailed the shocking death of the former APC candidate, Audu Abubakar in the Kogi gubernatorial election as the nation awaits the candidate to fill his stead.

James Abiodun Faleke
Following the sudden death of Prince Audu Abubakar, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in last Saturday’s governorship in Kogi state, there are questions as to what happens next and who would replace the late politician in the race.
Audu, who died shortly after the elction was leading the polls with 240, 827 votes, against the 199, 514 votes polled by Governor Idris Wada, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). But the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared the election as inconclusive.
The late APC candidate may likely be replaced by James Abiodun Faleke, his running mate in the gubernatorial elections but it may not be an easy ride for him.
The APC might have to conduct another round of primaries and Faleke may be put forward as one of the candidates. If he wins the primaries, he would get to contest for Kogi governorship.

See the Korean Statue of Jesus Christ That Everyone Is Talking About (Photo)

Image
A statue of Jesus in Korea is causing a lot of reaction on social media because of its unusual depiction of the Christ.     This photo above has caused ripples online after it emerged recently.   The cause of reaction is the unsually muscular depiction of Jesus. Many internet users have argued that if Jesus Christ was that huge, he would probably not have been crucified at all. In fact, many opined that the opposite would have been the case as Jesus would have been the one crushing the people with his strength.   The photo was shared by an IMGUR user by the username, Geekologie.   He said:  "This is a Korean crucifix featuring a very muscular Jesus. I'm not entirely sure where it's located, but presumably outside the Church of Gains. Honestly, if Jesus really did look like that there probably never would have been a crucifixion, just 'the day Jesus killed all the Romans swinging a cross.'"
